I&#39;m sure it will be catchy and will inspire confidence in some and quell hatred in others, but seriously, do not preach your bronze age superstition at me on the dance floor. <br />
Screw Elton John (yet again!) for promising me a new gay anthem. </p>ProudtbAsian commented on 'Lady Gaga Releases Lyrics to Her LGBT Anthem 'Born This Way', Sings to Ellen DeGeneres'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef0147e21c86bb970b2011-01-30T02:01:55Z2011-01-30T02:04:55ZProudtbAsianAs an Asian and Gay male, I am offended by these lyrics.

This is just more evidence that there is no &quot;gay community&quot;, the racial lines amongst gays is no different than in the larger community. If not, then folks, including the author of this blog, would have stated at some point that Carl Bean(a man of color) had a song by the very same name years ago, when Gag-arbage was young and ugly. <br />

She saw what made Madonna, Britney, and other divas before her money. So she mixed up Grace Jones and Madonna circa 1992 and--voila! Gaga.</p>
<p>Oh, and she&#39;s about as &quot;bi&quot; as Anna Paquin. Both have only been seen in LTRs with the opposite sex. Has everyone on here who went fishing in high school claimed their bisexuality? No. Because you are your preference.</p>
<p>She is yet another female who claims bisexuality because there is no stigma on females who are bi. When straight men do it, then I believe they&#39;re &quot;bi&quot;--well, if anyone other than Tom Hardy did it.<br />

Her image is the direct result of a cynical marketing strategy devised by her record company. This strategy is designed to promote girl-girl as &quot;hot&quot; but not guy-guy. </p>
<p>If you look at her video for Just Dance, for instance, you will see that it has been cleverly edited to remove any suggestion of male-male intimacy. Female-female, on the other hand, is permitted. Lady Gaga said in her early interviews that only her stage act would contain guy-guy whereas her &quot;short films&quot; (videos) would contain girl-girl.</p>
<p>If she were genuinely pro-gay, she would not have refrained from putting guy-guy intimacy in her earlier music videos. Consider that it took her 5 videos to put any guy-guy intimacy in her videos (Alejandro) but even then it was hidden in dark shadows and presented in a highly stylized fashion.</p>
<p>I know it might upset those who view her as a vanguard but think about this other salient point: why isn&#39;t there a male Lady Gaga? Why isn&#39;t a male singer allowed to use his homosexuality or bisexuality in his marketing?</p>
<p>We&#39;re dealing with a woman here who claims to be gay-friendly for the purpose of making money. We&#39;re also dealing with a woman who has exploited the double standard in the music industry which allows a female performer to use lesbianism (fake or otherwise) as a marketing strategy, a strategy that is not available to male performers who are genuinely gay or bi.</p>brian commented on 'Lady Gaga Releases Lyrics to Her LGBT Anthem 'Born This Way', Sings to Ellen DeGeneres'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef0148c817f8f6970c2011-01-28T10:51:28Z2011-01-28T11:01:00ZbrianLady Gaga is a fake gay advocate.<p>Lady Gaga is a fake gay advocate.</p>Natira commented on 'Lady Gaga Releases Lyrics to Her LGBT Anthem 'Born This Way', Sings to Ellen DeGeneres'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef0148c8176322970c2011-01-28T09:09:58Z2011-01-28T09:16:40ZNatiraYes Matt.

Given all that she has said and done to support LGBT issues, and the fact that she has said she identifies as bisexual, she has never mentioned becoming part of any church at all to her fans. Sure, she believes in God, but that doesnt make her a Catholic missionary. At most, it seems that she wants the church to accept what she feels is God-given, that we are all born this way. As for her fans being mostly white heterosexual Christian females I think youre way off-base there. Also, I bet that this song does NOT represent the views of &quot;her fellow hetero christians&quot; at all. Im not saying you have to be a fan of Gaga&#39;s, but I think you have got some facts wrong.</p>

<p>That is the LGBT ORIGINAL Anthem and version by Carl Bean but of course the white Gay establishment will NEVER acknowledge it. They will just make it seem as if GaGa created it on her own.</p>

<p>Lady Gaga is a christian heterosexual woman, as are most of her listeners and supporters. That&#39;s why she&#39;s rich and famous. And this song represents her views of LGBTs, and her fellow hetero christians.</p>
<p>This song is way of bringing homosexuals into her religion. </p>
<p>Lady Gaga is a Catholic missionary.<br />
